    I have 4 vehicles and they are all 6 speeds so I do love a manual transmission. I have seen some short comings off roading in my 6 MT FJ when climbing over rocks in some ruff terrain. This prompted me too buy an AT in my 17 TRD Tacoma.

    Crawl control and KDDS in the 200 series is fantastic. Sure you will enjoy your 17 TRD

    Traffic sucks, an automatic truck in traffic sucks, a manual truck in traffic sucks less.

    Went with an Auto only because I wanted the flexibility of the wife being able to drive it as needed. Should have just taught her how to drive a MT. After driving MTs my hole life a part of me is missing.

    I have never owned an automatic in my life, whenever I get a rental or a loaner vehicle it feels strange and boring to drive.

    Never understand a man judging his manhood over weather he drives a MT or Auto. If you like MT great If you like Auto great. I used to only drive MT and Enjoyed them. Now my last 3 tacomas had Auto And I have enjoyed them. Both Are good I had to get out of MT so if me and my wife had to swap vehicles for any reason she could drive It. She never could handle a MT so now I am an auto man and have to say I like both. So if you say one is better than the other I call BS. Take it from someone who has had both.

    Just picked up my manual trans 17 on the 12th. Love it. Always have had a manual trans car. The sales guy I was dealing with was more mature. He jokes and said he had to go get the tank of gas prep drive since none of the lot jockeys on duty could drive a stick.
    Said my truck came with a "millennial theft prevention device". Lol.
